FAQs

No, electric bikes in the UK do not require a driver's license or insurance as long as they meet the EAPC criteria. However, it's recommended to have insurance coverage to protect against theft or damage. If you have a more powerful electric bike that doesn't meet the EAPC criteria, it may be classified as a moped or motorcycle,   requiring registration, licensing, and insurance.

Yes, electric bikes are legal to ride on public roads in the UK. However, they must meet certain criteria to be classified as Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPCs). The bike must have pedals that can be used to propel it, the motor should not exceed 250 watts, and the electric assistance should cut off when the bike reaches 15.5 mph (25 km/h). It's important to ensure your electric bike meets these requirements to be road legal.

Electric bikes in the UK are legally limited to a maximum speed of 15.5 mph (25 km/h) when using the motor assistance. Once you reach this speed, the motor will no longer provide assistance, and you can continue pedalling under your own power.

Yes, most electric bikes in the UK are designed to withstand light rain and wet conditions. However, it's important to check the manufacturer's guidelines regarding water resistance and maintenance. While riding in heavy rain or through deep water is not recommended, a light drizzle or damp conditions should not pose a problem for properly sealed electric bike components.

Electric bikes in the UK generally require regular maintenance, similar to traditional bicycles. Routine maintenance tasks include checking tire pressure, lubricating the chain, ensuring proper brake function, and inspecting the battery and electrical components. It's also recommended to have periodic professional servicing to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Yes, electric bikes in the UK can be ridden without engaging the motor. Most electric bikes offer multiple levels of pedal assistance or the option to ride in "non-assist" mode, where you rely solely on pedal power. This flexibility allows you to choose how much assistance you want from the motor and enjoy the benefits of both electric and traditional cycling.
